Floors and coatings
Choosing a coating, pricing it, and getting it down on garage and basement floors.
The real pros and cons of epoxy flooring: how long it lasts, why it peels or yellows, what it costs per year, and when another floor is the better choice.
How to epoxy a garage floor step by step: moisture test, grinding, mixing, coating, and cure times by temperature, with a timeline and a materials list.
A basement epoxy floor costs about $4 – $10 per sq ft installed, plus around $1 per sq ft for a vapor barrier. See prices by size and test the slab first.
Epoxy floors run from about 3 dry mils per coat for water-based kits to 1/4 inch for mortar. Thickness by system in mils and mm, wet vs dry film, and what each floor needs.
Compare seal coat and flood coat epoxy layers, when to calculate them separately, and how they affect resin quantity, bubbles, and coverage.

Project costs
Material budgets for tables, countertops, and bar tops.
Estimate river table epoxy cost by resin quantity, deep-pour needs, waste, seepage, seal coat, kit size, and price per gallon.
Plan epoxy countertop material cost from surface area, flood coat thickness, edges, waste, kit size, and price per gallon.
